.a gawker's demise
.what the hell have we watched happen to gawker.com?
.o, i long for the days of jessica coen, emily gould, josh stein, alex balk, choire sicha (both times).those were the days when you could count on blistering writing and exhilerating overshares.remember when julia allison first popped up on the site in that condom dress?aleksy vayner, i-bankers, the douche hall of fame, and now he’s dead, scary sadshaws, doree shafrir, emily’s swimsuit pic on the roof, the preposterously named lockhart steele.
..sigh..
.what do we have now?gossip girl recaps by whatshisname.
.hamilton nolan, i weep for you.you came too late, too late
